  1. Should ittf take additional measures to slow the game down?

    Let's say the miracle happens and the Ittfz introduces one tournament at the end of the year (i.e after WC) with the net height say 16.50 cm. What detrimental effect could this have on the sport or the organisation? I know I got fixed on the net, but I'm willing to see anything that would...
  2. Should ittf take additional measures to slow the game down?

    And good ... maybe there is no easy way to predict scientifically how the game would look like under certain conditions, how the players would adopt or if the game would remain interesting? Way more successful "Big" tennis, for sure has more variety then ours and the current stage of our...
  3. Should ittf take additional measures to slow the game down?

    Thank you for the link ttarc, I had a chance to read it one more time and more carefully this time probably. One thing, the paper is 2013, so 40+ balls are not considered. It basically analyzes number of successful trajectories, based on the space of initial conditions. Two quotes from me: 1...

  8. saying Thank you to your rival

    @Chuckjordan2, I grew up being thought the magic words too ... : ) For me in general, there are two things someone wants to express, when saying "thank you". One would be to acknowledge his/her good fortune, thanks to other person's behavior, second (and foremost) to acknowledge someones good...
  9. saying Thank you to your rival

    Apart from the cultural context, think about it logically ... Someone says "thank you" for a point while it is obvious, it was not your intention to give it ... you are probably frustrated because of your misfortune yet someone is implying, you did it purposefully (possibly because you are...
  10. saying Thank you to your rival

    I personally find it sarcastic. If it comes from a little kid I let it go by, but if it's a grown person than I tend to say something in return ... Happy New Year!
